Hi Xeizo,
please can you explain what "CO" is meaning for? Thanks 🙂

Curve Optimizer, it's menu is only activated with a Zen 3 CPU, can make a big difference

Ah ok, i didn't know, i will study this feature.
So, given the fact that my cpu is a 3900X how would you explain my problems raising up fclk for bioses from 2311 to the latest one?

Thanks!

I don't know, I have a 3900X too, and a 3700X, both does 3800MHz memory with latest AGESA on B550-F and C7H

BIOS 2206 has proved very stable for my Crosshair VIII Formula + 3950X + 32 GB G.Skill 3600/CL16 RAM.

After fighting numerous WHEA errors and spontaneous reboots with everything from 2311 to 3003, I seem to have achieved stability with 3101.

I'm using the voltage tweaks from earlier in this thread, however, I do have DIMM voltage at 1.37 and VCore with a slight + offset.

I haven't had any WHEA errors or reboots in 9 days of extended 100% CPU usage + moderate CPU usage + idle time.

My primary usage is video encoding which is heavily multi-threaded - I have DOCP on, PBO on auto and an all-core overclock to 4225. This gives me much better performance than I ever achieved with PBO settings and with lower temps to boot.

I know feel comfortable monitoring for 5000-series CPU availability! 🙂

Hello,
How were you able to downgrade to 2206 ?
Using the EZ Flash that version file is now rejected as a non valid file. (same 2206 file I used in the past !)
Thanks

Put your usb in the Flashback USB port and use the button on the back to flashback to the older BIOS.

Thanks for the tip but that way never worked, despite a fresh formated fat16 with BIOS as the only stored file.
Will give a try again.

I noticed this too. Hoping that means a non-beta version is going to be posted soon...

Shamino said at overclock.net why it was removed, because of non booting issue with certain 3300X:s, it should be good to use with all other supported CPU:s.

Bios 3101 is still available on the US site under BIOS & FIRMWARE but no longer under Driver & Tools section.
